Get Smart about Energy

HB 522: You wouldn't build a house without a blueprint, but right now Maryland is making decisions about how to construct its energy future without a blueprint. Maryland has committed to ambitious goals to achieve clean, affordable, and reliable energy that will create thousands of new jobs in Maryland but we need a statewide plan to ensure that we achieve those goals.
